Our artists arranged some clickable boxes below and challenged us to interpret the diorama - there seems to be a mother here welcoming her infant with open arms. ​In an infant's life, the mother undoubtedly plays a key role. In addition to safety, her impact is obvious both on social-enviromental outcomes such as emotional and social advancement, nutrition, and education; and in biological dimensions of growth, stress responses, and neurodevelopment. We now know that the mother also regulates epigenetic memory from her previous and current pregnancies, extranuclear structures such as mitochondria that are inherited solely from her, and the proportions of total DNA that remain active or are chemically suppressed.This list continues to expand as we learn more.
